Are you a nut for nuts? I am! I love to snack on lots of different kinds of nuts, from almonds to peanuts and pecans to pistachios. But, I rarely use nuts when I’m cooking. My mind just never seems to equate a nut with a dinner meal. Now, that I’ve done some Recipe4Living research, I know that there are tons of way to cook with all different sorts of nuts. But rather than go through all of them–that would make us all a bit nutty-I’m sticking with almonds! I’ve found ways to use almonds in breakfasts, appetizers, dinners, sides and desserts!

Everyone’s getting pumped to find out who the number 1 seeds are going to be in NCAA March Madness, but we’re even more pumped to find out which produce ingredients reigns supreme this month! In the spirit of March Madness, we’re hosting our very own battle, filled with the freshest ingredients from every season.

Each day, we’ll have a new match-up between two produce ingredients. We’re beginning with the two spring ingredients, strawberry and artichoke. Which ingredient would you rather eat or which do you enjoy cooking with most? Whichever you prefer, make sure to vote for it so it can move ahead and have a chance to become the March Produce Champion! Your vote determines which fruit or vegetable makes it to the next round.

Tell your friends about this competition, too! We want to make sure your voice is heard!

The first match-up will take place on March 1, 2011. Come back to Chew on That to cast your vote! Remember, voting only lasts for 24 hours!

Would you have been able to tell that the chandelier pictured above was made out of gummy bears if I didn’t tell you? It’s so pretty! Designer YaYa Chou has made numerous creations out of gummy bears but this chandelier definitely caught my eye. I’d like to go to the house of the person who installs this gummy bear chandelier in their house. [Photo courtesy of YaYaChou.com]
